Be There For
Friends
There were two childhood buddies who
went through school and college and even joined the army together.
War broke out and they were fighting
in the same unit. One night they were ambushed. Bullets were flying all over
and out of the darkness came a voice, "Harry, please come and help
me."
Harry immediately recognized the
voice of his childhood buddy, Bill. He asked the captain if he could go. The
captain said, "No, I can't let you go, I am already short-handed and I
cannot afford to lose one more person. Besides, the way Bill sounds he is not
going to make it." Harry kept quiet.
Again the voice came, "Harry,
please come and help me." Harry sat quietly because the captain had
refused earlier. Again and again the voice came. Harry couldn't contain himself
any longer and told the captain, "Captain, this is my childhood buddy. I
have to go and help." The captain reluctantly let him go. Harry crawled
through the darkness and dragged Bill back into the trench. They found that
Bill was dead.
Now the captain got angry and shouted
at Harry, "Didn't I tell you he was not going to make it? He is dead, you
could have been killed and I could have lost a hand. That was a mistake."
Harry replied, "Captain, I did
the right thing. When I reached Bill he was still alive and his last words were
'Harry, I knew you would come.'
